32 of the best players internationals meet here

in a battle to the death to determine

who will face the current World Champion.

The weather is electric here at the Hotel Des Ambassades

where the Pretenders Tournament occurs,

and let me tell you: it won't calm down in the next seven days.

In fact, the entire competition takes place here

and all equipment resides here.

The whole place will be crazy for chess this week.

Wait, they told me that the referees They are about to begin.

The black man starts the clock.

And he's done!

Come, the most important game it is there.

- Shun Naito against Mikael Koroleva. - OK.

Sorry, excuse me.

Michael! Michael!

- Aside! Step aside, I'm a doctor. - What happens?

Lord, look at me. Look at me. Can you hear me?

Sir, he nods if he can hear me.

Stay with me, sir. Can you hear me? Give me a sign.

What happens?

I'm sorry.

William, you have to call to your police friend.

- Well, technically, Astrid is not a police officer. - William, I'm serious.

I am pretty sure This man has been poisoned.

I'm in jail, he lives with his uncle, He is separated from his sister.

Niels is having a hard time.

Oh.

So when I heard that you offered to welcome him.

For one night. Just one night. On Tuesday.

Yes, I know Astrid. But it's still amazing.

You don't realize how much what this means to him.

I do not realize.

I talked to my brother by phone.

He will leave Niels on Tuesday At 7:00 p.m.

He will pick you up on Wednesday at 8 in the morning to take him to school.

- Tuesday is tomorrow. - Yeah.

Are you sure you want do this, Astrid?

I know this kind of situation, It takes its toll on you.

I have never been responsible for another person.

I trust you, Astrid.

- Thank goodness you were there. - I don't miss a chess competition.

I hope I'm wrong but I am pretty sure that

I identified signs of poisoning.

Crazy! Paul is the one loves chess.

Normally, I'm the one... Shakes up the stereotypes, right?

Paramedics are on the scene. They are about to take the body.

Ladies and Gentlemen, do not touch anything.

Police. Thank you.

An order. We don't have an order.

Yes, but they don't know, Astrid.

Yeah.

Let me remind you I am the president of this tournament.

- Yes, you already told me. - Yes. So I'm the one in charge.

I know.

So I demand again to provide documents

that prove their legitimacy to act here.

So, as I have already told you, sir,

we had an administrative problem, but I just spoke with my superior

by phone. He told me that we have approval of the prosecutor.

- Thank God. - Yeah.

Only for authorized personnel. You are not.

OK. Understood.

Yes, I lied, yes.

Please Fournier, tell me it's a crime

or the Commissioner will be very, very angry.

Without a doubt, his friend was right.

There are signs of intoxication by botulinum toxin.

It is the most powerful poison of the world.

A few nanograms are enough to cause paralysis

that kills in just a few seconds.

Absolutely, and that begs the question: how was he poisoned?

No traces were found in your drink

and had not eaten anything in the minutes before his death.

He poisoned himself.

His nails are bitten.

Which means that often he put them in his mouth.

To poison him, you just had to poison something he played frequently.

Like a chess piece. Drop that immediately, Nico!

A bag! Quick, a bag!

He throws away the gloves.

Wait, if your theory is correct,

That means the culprit knew that Koroleva would play white.

But they are assigned with a currency, for a referee at the beginning of each match.

Excuse me?

If they see.

What are you implying?

That the referee manipulated the result of the coin toss?

Commander Coste He didn't hint at anything.

You just made a hypothesis in this case.

Because Mr. Wu is one of the referees oldest in this federation.

It's impeccable, I vouch for it.

Could you guide me through the process of this attribution, please?

Yeah.

I did it as always.

I assigned the side of the face to the oldest player, Mr. Naito,

and the side of the number to the youngest, Mr. Koroleva.

So I pulled out my coin toss, the same one I've had for 15 years.

that I always keep in my right pocket. You see?

There is a problem.

Two sides with number.

The coin must have been exchanged before the game.

The referee swears He didn't notice anything.

We will keep him under surveillance. He had access to the chess pieces.

Did the forensics confirm the presence of poison in the pieces?

Yeah.

- And so? - It was in the victim's pocket.

- Also poisoned? - Absolutely.

But apparently, this piece It is not part of this set.

I don't know, maybe it's an amulet Lucky.

The victim's coach He's in the audition room.

She is also his sister. She's quite shocked.

I'm on it.

- Great. - Thank you.

I have never seen it. I'm sorry.

It could be some kind of amulet luck, or something like that, right?

Mikael did not have an amulet Lucky.

He worked tirelessly to be the best.

He should have been more careful.

He normally he's so calm and concentrated before the games.

Since this morning, he has been stressed, nervous,

almost aggressive.

Do you think he knew that was he in danger?

What is certain is that he felt threatened.

No surprises, he was the favorite.

To others, he was the man to beat.

So a rival murdered him, Is that what you're saying?

We are talking about chess, sorry but...

that's pretty weak for a reason, right?

One million dollars, Does it seem weak to you?

It is the prize for the champion of the world.

But that's not what matters.

I played too.

Believe me, chess is more than a game for the players of this tournament.

It's an obsession, a drug.

It's his whole life.

I know many that they would kill for that.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Impossible.

What is impossible?

Plan configurations with enough notice

to make the right decision.

For every move I make, countless replicas can be made,

to which I can respond with dozens of movements.

I can't expand on one mental tree so big.

You make trees to prepare for complex conversations.

But the situation here it's totally different.

Oh.

So how do I plan? your movements?

Maybe you need to play without trying to anticipate my movements.

You have to think at the same time the move you are playing.

Creating intimacy with your opponent.

In the world of chess, There is an old saying that says

you learn more about someone in a two hour game

than in a friendship of 20 years.

For example, Naito is a player devious, who loves long games

where he strangles his opponent little by little like a boa.

In front of him he has Matt Brown, US.

Blitz expert, quick games.

Very aggressive.

Wesley Ramos, Filipino.

Perhaps the most creative player of this circuit.

Ramesh Batil. Indian.

Great memory.

The king of simultaneous matches in alternative tournaments.

Last year, he beat five players at the same time,

and he beat them blindfolded.

He is a bulwark.

The typical positional player that favors defense over attack.

But don't underestimate him.

He exhausts his opponents, and then finish them off.

What thing...

Something is wrong.

Naito-san's watch It's not on time.

He is a foreign player, maybe he forgot to adjust it.

He is hidden by his sleeve,

and every time he rolls it up to check the time,

his watch indicates different times without temporal coherence between them.

You're right, his watch is not on time, indicates 7:45 p.m.

Yes, three minutes ago, It indicated 12:15 am.

Before that, 6:20 pm. Before that, 7:08 pm.

It could be a code, right?

What if someone was sending you messages through your watch?

Sixteen pieces. Eight rows, eight columns.

There are now three pieces of information that must be transmitted.

If you use your hands for hours, minutes and seconds,

could you communicate any position for any piece.

If Naito cheated and the victim had found out,

It's a great reason, right?

Oh yeah.

Especially since a conviction for deception means losing your license for years.

A professional death insured.

No cheater has been able to get up from that.

Noah.

If a player receives information on a smart watch,

Could you know where it comes from?

- I can try. - OK.

5:12 pm.

Hello, Criminal Police.

I need immediate access to this computer.

You know, sometimes it gets slow.

No with me.

- Commander. - I hear you.

There is an encrypted connection WiFi with an LPWAN protocol.

It is specific for smart objects. And given time, that could be it.

I can't tell you what's changed, the encryption is too strong.

But I can tell where it comes from.

Room 316, a computer is sending data and is not connected to the network.

Thank you.

- Police! - Take! Here! Fast!

So there are three people fighting Matt Brown.

- You, Shun Naito, and... - An artificial intelligence.

connected to Naito's watch.

He seems to give up.

Of course! Is more difficult win without a computer.

We have to catch him before he leaves his room.

Could you take care of him?

- It's room 307, right? - Yeah.

Careful!

It's here.

Police! Open!

- Police! - Naito!

No! Oh shit!

It's not suicide, Coste.

Look, there are bruises on her wrist... and bruises around her waist.

Your boy fought and I would say that he was pushed.

Window insurance from Naito's room was eliminated

to open them wide.

It is a process that takes time.

It's not just murder: It is premeditated murder.

Nico. The maintenance guy.

The one we stumbled upon in the hallway.

- It could be. - Could, right?

- Dr. Fournier. - Yeah?

His throat looks swollen here. You should look in his mouth.

He looks swollen as if there was something inside.

What's that?

Let's see.

- My God! What is this? - It's not a cow.

A queen.

What are those red pieces? A sign?

A connection, in any case.

Two deaths, each with a red piece.

A Bishop

and a Lady.

It's starting to look like to serial murders.

Astrid is at the Doc looking elements that confirm it, yes.

And the maintenance one? Something new?

We found out he was hired by the hotel 15 days ago.

He is a quiet employee, current, nothing...

15 days are enough to monitor the facilities.

And that would mean that he had access to the entire building.

Perfect for sabotaging a window or poison chess pieces.

We found out that the room assigned to Naito

It was changed at the last minute.

We believe that he made sure of being assigned

the room with Tempered window, see?

Yes, I see. Then why He is not detained?

Because we don't know who he is.

We check his identity, and we found nothing.

They hired him with false papers.

We have his fingerprints but he doesn't know correspond to none in the file.

We need answers, Nicolas.

- This case is already in the headlines. - I know, Commissioner.

Do we ever see his face?

It's like he knows every blind spot of security cameras.

A real ghost.

In the older videos, we can guess parts of his face

but they will be difficult to use.

Shit! We had it in our hands!

Why do you say that the case did not start yesterday but two years ago?

Raphaëlle, I didn't say "two years ago." I said "26 months ago."

Yeah.

Two years and two months.

You're going to see Niels tonight, right?

Yeah.

- You'll be fine? - Don't know.

I mean...

How will I carry it?

Even though you have planned

the presence of Niels in my apartment logically,

I have no idea how I will manage social interactions

with someone your age for an entire evening.

- Children! - Exactly.

I have acquired quite a few scenarios and social skills

to interact with neurotypical adults.

However, children are a category of people difficult to understand.

I can't find them the right vocabulary

and the appropriate response.

Astrid.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Raphaelle.

You can't be sure of that.

Could we get back to the case, please?

Yes of course.

Marcus Koenig is a former chess player.

He left the professional circuit eight years ago.

He was found suffocated in his his address on July 16, 2020.

What caught my attention when I scanned the file, I know the file,

is that, although there were traces of fiber found in his throat,

suggesting that he drowned on his couch,

his body was found sitting on a chair, in the middle of the room.

He was transferred post-mortem.

Absolutely.

Without the investigation It will never be determined why.

But what catches my attention today, It's what's in the background.

Come and look.

Look at the chess board on the desktop, here.

- A red piece. - Exactly.

At that time, there were no reason to focus on this detail.

However, with the two red pieces

found in the scenes of the crime of our case,

there is a set of consistent evidence

indicating that it is not about two, but three murders.

And that our case began two years ago.

- 26 months ago. - Yeah.

- Did you get my message? - Yeah.

I found enough about this Marcus Koenig

on specialized chess websites.

He quit chess due to major depression

and he lived secluded in his house or in residences.

We need a link among the victims.

The problem is that we have hundreds of links.

They were together in many tournaments.

They belonged to the same clubs, the same circles.

Although the world of chess It's not that big,

There are countless connections.

So those pieces Are they a signature?

we have to find its meaning and symbolism.

But chess is older than the Bible. Its symbolism is infinite.

For example, for the Russians, the Tower represents a ship.

In astrology, the Lady embodies uncertainty.

And there are a myriad of connections between Freemasonry and chess.

Commander.

She may have found something that unites to our two victims of the tournament.

It's a little light But it's something.

How light?

Between 15 and 25 g.

On the mornings of their deaths,

Koroleva and Naito received a package at the hotel

from the same company of distribution.

The records indicate a weight less than 30 g.

- It would seem like... - A chess piece.

Are you saying that the murderer sends them a red piece through the mail?

That would explain why Koroleva He had been tense since that moment.

Wait, those chess pieces, They are not signatures.

They are threats.

then you have to go to the hotel immediately.

Ivana Koroleva just received a package.

Hello.

Ivana Koroleva, please. Her room.

- Koroleva? - Yeah.

Hurry up, please.

504.

But at this time, she shouldn't be in her room.

She goes to the pool every day. Follow Fitness and Spa.

- Ivana! - Wait wait!

Wait, wait, don't move, I know what needs to be done.

- Ivana! - Ivana!

Shit!

Send an ambulance to the Hotel des Ambassades, quickly!

Yes here.

Oh yes, thank you. Thank you.

That was inside the package of Ivana, waiting at reception.

Norah was right.

What do the paramedics say?

He's stable.

still unconscious, but she's on her way to the hospital.

The killer deactivated all the lockers except this one.

So Ivana had no choice. to store her clothes.

When she dialed the code to open it She activated the electrical circuit.

It is well designed. Creepy even.

So the killer knew Ivana's habits.

C4.

Tower in C4.

I have it.

Wait, you have what? Astrid, we have nothing. Astrid!

Here.

The numbers were attributed to columns, and the letters to rows.

When Mikael Koroleva was poisoned,

he was sitting in C1.

And Naito-san, him falling from the third floor and...

1, 2, 3.

From the fourth window top left of the building.

1, 2, 3. A, B, C, D.

D3. He fell in D3.

For every murder, there is a piece and an associated square.

Knight on F2, Bishop on C1, Queen on D3, Rook on C4.

Raphaelle.

The murderer does not sign his crimes.

He is playing chess.

We found the link among the four victims.

A game of chess.

Every murder does reference to a piece

and a position in a chessboard.

Horse in F2 for Marcus Koenig.

Koenig's body was transferred post-mortem

to place it in a box specific to his board.

At the intersection of the sixth column and the second row.

- F2. - Yeah.

Bishop on C1 for Mikael Koroleva.

The position of your table in the competing space.

Queen in D3 for Shun Naito.

The culprit assigned a room to Naito

so that the window matches with symbolism.

And Tower in C4 for Ivana Koroleva.

The box office number with which she electrocuted herself.

I think the culprit is playing a chess game

where they were played these four plays

in a tournament they were part of our four victims.

Can you imagine the size from this database?

Yeah.

The number of movements of a game,

multiplied by the number of matches in a tournament,

multiplied by the number of tournaments in a season

for each country during several years.

Yes, it is very complex. You are right, Commissioner.

I know who can help us.

And here it is 2008.

I was the one who read them but William picked them up.

Yes, I saved them all but I also ordered them, right?

By date, country and publication type: almanac, magazine, fanzine.

Thank you all for coming in our help in this search.

Which will be harder to find than a needle in a haystack.

- It's a figurative expression, right? - Yeah.

We are looking for a game of chess with 4 plays that were made in a row:

Knight to F2, Bishop to C1, Queen to D3, Rook to C4.

Our search grid It is between 2008 and 2013.

2008 was the year in which, the player younger, Mikael Koroleva,

he entered a contest;

and 2013 is when Marcus Koenig It ended his career.

Very good!

So...

Pile on the right:

every tournament they participated in the four players.

Stack on the left:

those we can eliminate because not everyone was there.

Come on!

Keep an eye out for big tournaments. They are more likely to be all together.

Tata Chess, Candidate tournament, Olympiad.

Once this is done, I will show you to read the score sheets.

So what do we have?

Well, we have made progress.

I'll give you a summary, okay?

It is a basic Horse.

I took it from one of the games in the competition.

It's called Staunton style,

created in 1949 by Nathaniel Cook,

and approved by the international federation.

- Essential. - Essential.

This is the difference with the other, look.

The head of the horse It is more curved.

In the Bishop, it is not carved, It's a little rounder,

and mainly,

you have a color reminder opposite in the Queen, the Bishop and the King.

It is the Slavic style, also called Russian Zagreb.

OK.

Because it was popular in the Soviet bloc.

In 1988, a brand wanted to make

a red version of this popular collection in the Russian Zagreb style.

- Was it successful? - Absolutely.

They had many returns and manufacturing stopped.

The product is very difficult to find.

Is it very strange now?

can only be found in second-hand markets

among collectors and merchants.

So if we find the origin of these pieces...

We found the murderer.

Nico!

Chess Counter, no.

On a search.

Nico, did you check out Chess Variation?

- Ok, writing it down. - Thank you, I'm sorry.

The Queen's board.

So far, our two tracks They are not enough.

Like Sissa's chess board.

Pablo talks here about the legend oldest in chess.

Oh, let me tell it!

It was said that Sissa He was a wise Indian

who invented chess for a king

I was looking for a new one form of entertainment.

In compensation for his invention,

Sissa just asked to be paid with grains of rice.

A grain in the first box,

two in the second, four in the third, and so on,

always doubling the number of grains from the previous box

until the board is full.

- A humble request. - That's what the king thought too.

However, bending a grain of rice 64 times,

you get billions of rice grains.

In reality, Sissa's request It was impossible to satisfy.

What bothers me the most is that,

although I stir these movements with all the possibilities,

I don't understand the logic.

As if those movements They were not answered.

we had to stop our search.

Anne Langlais's brother will bring Niels home tonight, at 7 pm,

in 43 minutes.

I must not be late, one should not be late.

Ah yes, well Paul and I we will return to the workshop

to continue the search.

We will keep you informed if something comes up.

- Thank you. - You are welcome. Good night.

OK.

Hello, Astrid.

Here it is.

Niels, you forgot your backpack.

If you need help with the child,

or if you want me to pick it up If things go wrong,

you have my number.

Absolutely.

It will be OK?

Don't know.

Goodbye Sir.

You will sleep here.

- On the couch? - Yeah.

It is not convertible.

- Can I sleep in dad's room? - Of course not.

- Because? - Because you're not a dad.

I'll make dinner.

What do I do while I wait?

- Do I have to tell you what to do? - Well, yes, you are the adult.

Oh.

Put your backpack here

and sit on the couch.

Over there.

You can do it: don't move.

Niels,

food provides the necessary nutrients

for the proper functioning of the organism.

I'm not hungry.

I don't feel hungry either.

However, it is essential eat to live.

Why do you move your fingers like that?

Some call it stereotypy. I do not like that word.

I prefer to say "stimulus."

It is a reflex behavior that helps to stimulate my nervous system

and regulate my attention.

I didn't understand a single word of it!

I don't always do it on purpose.

It calms me down and helps me think.

And why are you always dressed in the same way?

To simplify.

I have dressed like this since she was a child.

These fabrics don't bother me that much,

and I cut out all the labels, of course.

And why do you move your eyes like that?

I didn't know she moved her eyes in a certain way.

What I know

It's because I do not like it look into people's eyes.

I prefer to look around.

I think it's related with my autism.

It is the first time that someone He has asked me these questions.

Can't I ask these questions? It is bad?

On the contrary.

There are no questions that cannot be asked.

No question is intrusive.

Only the answers can be.

Does that mean I can do Every question I have?

Absolutely.

However, I am not obliged to answer them.

That seems fine to me.

What is autism?

There are many definitions of this word.

It is a neurodivergence, a different way of seeing the world.

I like to say that it is part of my identity.

You should eat some.

It's okay, but only because It is essential to live.

Exactly.

We can play?

I do not like games.

Do you mean never you have played?

I play go with my boyfriend. But I lack training.

No, not this type of game.

Do you mean chess?

No, I mean play, have fun. That's what we children do.

Oh.

Do you know the riddle of the nine points?

The enigma of the nine points? It could be fun.

There are nine points square shaped

what do you have to connect only with four strokes.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Too easy!

You stepped out of the box. Immediately.

You didn't tell me that I couldn't get out of the box.

On the contrary, was the correct answer.

You had to get out of the box. Bravo Niels.

The first time, Raphaëlle took several weeks

to solve the riddle of the nine points.

Oh.

- Yes. - Astrid, Paul had a brilliant idea.

Astrid, do you remember the Naito-Brown party,

when I told you about the simultaneous games?

It is when a player faces to several at the same time.

Yeah.

If we couldn't find the right game,

maybe it's because There were several games.

It would mean several games played at the same time, simultaneously.

Of course.

we had to think with originality.

Bravo.

I go immediately to the social aptitude workshop

to continue the search...

Hello?

No.

I am not available.

I will meet you tomorrow morning at 8:30

in the social aptitude workshop to continue the search.

Well, tomorrow morning, whatever you want.

- I am responsable. - Yes I know.

Bye bye.

That is why the movements they did not respond.

They played simultaneously.

Those must be the last movements of the game, those of checkmate.

So we have to keep looking. With these new parameters.

Of course, the good thing is that we have Fewer games to review.

Simultaneous games are rarer than conventional ones.

I found it.

I found it.

Bravo, Astrid.

The man we are looking for It's a certain Quentin Desfranges.

Here.

Ten years ago, this guy was the unknown of the circuit.

At just 20 years old, He had crazy calculation power.

His game was so instinctive, which made it unpredictable.

The type of player he could face four masters at once

and stand firm, as one said.

That's what he did out of the Pretenders tournament in 2013.

Throughout one night, a simultaneous game was played

where he faced to four adversaries.

Our four victims.

Koenig, Naito and the Koroleva brothers.

Those he defeated.

His checkmates were the moves that we were looking for.

Knight to F2, Bishop to C1, Queen to D3 and Rook to C4.

But the match lasted too long.

It lasted until the end of the night, until exhaustion.

Therefore, when Quentin drove back to the hotel,

he had an accident that prevented him continue the tournament.

A tournament in which he was a favorite.

Which in turn ended with his career.

He never came in another competition later?

Your injuries from the accident They were irreversible.

Quentin Desfranges never appeared in another competition,

nor in any event related to chess.

In a nutshell,

On the one hand we have a prodigy whose career ended in a car accident;

for the other,

four of his last opponents being murdered ten years later.

He's starting to look awful like revenge, right?

Great job, thank you.

Do you think he's the only one What do we find at the hotel?

It's hard to know.

We know for sure that he is Quentin Desfranges.

He didn't make a fuss When we came for him, he cooperated,

he even he was polite.

- He has a computer store. - Yes, a store called Sissa.

Alright, do you have an alibi for every murder?

It seems.

The security cameras place him in his store at the time of the crimes.

Could she have tampered with the tapes?

Norah stayed there to check and supervise the search.

OK.

Come on?

Yeah.

You're saying you don't have no memory of this game

before your accident?

No, I am not sorry.

No, I woke up in the hospital, totally lost.

I needed a few days to recover.

Besides, it was ten years ago.

Any sequel?

Almost nothing and all at the same time.

The surgeon who treated me He told me that he was lucky

to get out of such an accident without consequences.

But there was one.

The chess?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could never play again.

At least not at the same level.

Something broke there.

a brain injury irreversible.

Is that why you brought me here?

Do you have any information about what happened that night?

No.

No, it's related to what happened in this year's Pretenders tournament.

Excuse me, Commander,

I thought you might like to see this. as soon as possible.

Your store, Sissa Games,

I thought it was a reference to the computing power of a computer,

but it wasn't always a computer store, TRUE?

No.

No, at first, it was a store specialized in chess and strategy.

But it does not work.

It wasn't modern enough.

That's why you ended up with lots of material stored.

Yeah.

why do you make me all these questions?

Because, believe it or not, stock is mine.

When I worked in insurance, I was Confident of finding what she was looking for.

Things you hide,

things you don't report.

The stocks are fascinating.

A 1988 edition of the red Russian Zagreb.

The most important It is its content.

Four pieces are missing.

A knight, a bishop, a rook and a queen.

The four pieces found on the victims, Mr. Desfranges.

- Are you sure it's him? - There is a set of consistent evidence.

Yes, but do you have proof?

Norah believes that the recordings of cameras in your store

they could have been manipulated.

"Could they have been manipulated"?

Yes, but it is difficult to prove.

It is not difficult to manipulate dates in those types of videos,

especially for a genius of technology.

Allow me Commissioner, but we found a set of Russian pieces from Zagreb

of which exactly the pieces are missing from the crime scene.

That doesn't prove anything!

Any public defender could demolish his argument in two minutes.

Do your prints match the What did you find at least in the hotel?

No.

Commissioner, even you know it,

Nowadays anyone can have access to false fingerprints on the internet.

I ask you again, Coste:

Do you have proof?

No.

- So you know what that means. - He wants a confession.

For me if.

We will have it.

Who discovered that those murders Were they part of a chess game?

So you know that these murders They are part of a chess game.

You're half confessing. Very good.

You know that's not the case.

It's all in the newspapers.

What I want to know is

Which of you got it?

Here we are the ones we ask questions.

At least it wasn't you.

You, you are an attacker.

An impulsive one.

You hand over your pawns, you provoke your opponent.

You would have already told me if it were you

It's not you either.

You are the archetype of a positional player.

Good technique, good strategy,

but at the end of the day you lack creativity.

You would never have made it on your own.

I will only talk to the person that he imagined that these murders

They were part of a chess game.

And I will only talk to her in front of a chess board.

-Is she safe? - Do we have another option?

Italian opening.

I didn't know it was called that.

I don't play chess.

Don't you play chess?

However, it does not seem that you play at random.

I studied hundreds of games Of chess

but I never played.

However, my boyfriend It starts me off in games.

We play to go together.

Which helped me a lot in this case.

- Come on. - Yeah.

It's totally different.

What could have helped you?

She taught me

than to play against an opponent

means to accept create intimacy with him.

That doesn't make any sense.

By committing these murders According to a game of chess,

the murderer revealed himself.

What has he told you about him?

That he is a weak chess player.

It seems to me that he managed keep the police at bay.

And he committed four murders.

Three.

The criminal police team managed to thwart the last one.

Ivana Koroleva is still alive.

So, the murderer failed.

Ivana's death doesn't matter.

The murderer's chess game is over.

I don't understand.

Wasn't the goal to kill them?

No.

No, the goal was to scare them.

So that they know that Their names were on the list.

Let them know that I was there, behind them.

Check it.

I ran into Koenig two years ago.

We play together,

then we drank.

We drank a lot.

like two ghosts from the world of chess.

Koenig left the competition after winning it,

the year of my accident.

The year you thought that you were going to win.

I was the best.

I was the best and this accident screwed me up.

That night, Koenig told me why he went into depression.

You know why?

Culpability.

The simultaneous game that they had organized,

It was made to ambush me.

They drugged me!

They drugged me so I couldn't get up the next day!

- Because they were afraid that I would beat them! - No!

- Nico... - Wait.

They conspired to Get me out of the way!

They didn't want you to have that accident.

But it's your fault I had that accident!

Because of him I'm now a pawn in my own life!

A piece that cannot move forward,

can't go back, It can't go sideways.

- We have it. - They condemned me!

They deserved to die!

I'm sorry.

Bravo Astrid. You were incredible.

Thank you.

He would never have succeeded if Tetsuo I wouldn't have started playing games.

Your tea.

Thank you.

He asks pertinent questions.

He solved the riddle of the nine points immediately.

- Oh! - Yeah.

He will be back every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

Niels is no longer unexpected.
